Makeup
No woman’s makeup vanity can ever have enough products. Makeup surely counts as one of the best gifts for women, no matter what the occasion is or isn’t.
A gift set consisting of her favourite makeup products or separates from her most loved brands always work. Lipsticks, nail lacquers and eyeshadow palettes are some of the best options that you can opt for.
However, if you know her foundation and concealer shades, you might as well gift her that product from a luxury brand that she’s been eyeing for a while. How about combining it with a vanity case for her to store all the essentials?

FAQs
Should I give perfumes to women?
Giving perfumes makes for a great gift option. However, try gifting one only when you’re sure about what she would like or use. A lot of women are particular about the kind of fragrance they use, and you wouldn’t want to splurge on a luxury perfume without knowing her preferences first.

Make sure to always give something thoughtful and useful.
What should not be gifted?
What you shouldn’t give a woman primarily depends on your relationship with her. The basic thing to keep in mind, however, is to avoid giving her anything she wouldn’t use or won’t hold any value for her. Gifts that have no meaning are a big no-no.
